Best tool in my box for sorting out messes I've mentioned before:

The UK GRO website for post 1837 UK births that morphs into FreeBMD around 1911 for confirming mothers' maiden names. It can be tedious but helps disambiguation.

I've only been using it about 12 months so a slow process to verify the wilder branches.

Perfect colour match.

I see the latest update to #AncestryDNA has addressed the #Colourblindness #Colorblindness problem that affects around 8% of men and 2% of women.

It affects me.

The coloured dot system to group matches by family branch was virtually unusable by me.

Now the dots include a letter ... The first letter of the group name.

Brilliant!!

A really great improvement!!

On braids ... Including hair braids!

I wondered how they were handled :))

Two items of clothing ... pullover and slacks ... have been sitting on a bedroom chair for months awaiting a button and a darn.

Proudly have done both.

Yet more proudly done without extracting blood nor sewing the two together nor sewing either to my shorts, shirt, vest or pants.

The latter, by sheer numbers of ways it could go wrong, is astonishing.

Dilapidated and run down. By the bus terminus in Ross on Wye in Herefordshire.

#FindMyPast has added to its collection of school registers. This morning I've dipped into the beginnings of Bearwood Road school, Smethwick. The trials and tribulations and the first inspector's report.

Really rather good :)

This defection reveals, in my humble opinion, a much greater level of dissatisfaction within the governing party than many of us would have believed.
